3-26-08 This right here is a Vocab. essay on our Easter Vacation (sweet right?). So sit back relax and SLOWLY (so that you can take it all in) read this *amazing* essay by S.V. (Enjoy!!! =] )

Easter break was a lot of fun. I got a lot of candy that I ate. I was *nauseated* from eating the chocolate. Later that day everyone was *voracious*. So we had our Easter dinner. The day before all of that I went with my cousin to the movies and then shopping. There were a lot of *defaced* walls. My cousin tried to *ruse* me by hiding. She thought it was funny, but I didn't. When I got home I was *ungainly* and fell. Then I went outside and the ground was *teeming* with bugs. After that I was supposed to go with her again, but I had to *negate*. There was something *pivotal* that I had to do. This thing wasn't very *tractable*. I had to help my mom give my dog a bath! I *bestowed* my dog with this instead of candy! That was my weekend.

Okay if you haven't already figured it out the ** was to let you know that those are the vocab. words this person used, and if you don't know what they mean then...SHAME ON YOU! =p Okay anyway that was S.V.'S essay and there are plenty more so check them out!!! =] <3
